Uk-ukom 19
1 Kadagidiay nga al-aldaw, idi awan pay ti ari ti Israel, adda maysa a lalaki a Levita, agdama nga agnanaed idiay kasulsulinekan a disso iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim. Nangala isuna iti maysa a babai a kakabbalayna manipud idiay Betlehem iti Juda.
In those days, when there was no king in Israel, there was a certain Levite living on the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim, who took for himself a concubine out of Bethlehem Judah.
2 Ngem saan a napudno kenkuana ti kabbalayna; pinanawanna isuna ket nagsubli iti balay ti amana idiay Betlehem iti Juda. Nagtalinaed isuna sadiay iti uppat a bulan.
His concubine played the prostitute against him, and went away from him to her father’s house to Bethlehem Judah, and was there for four months.
3 Kalpasanna, nagrubuat ti asawana ket sinurotna isuna tapno allukoyenna nga agsubli isuna. Kaduana ti adipenna, ken maysa a pares iti asno. Pinadanon isuna ti babai iti balay ti amana. Idi nakita isuna iti ama ti babai, naragsakan daytoy.
Her husband arose and went after her to speak kindly to her, to bring her again, having his servant with him and a couple of donkeys. She brought him into her father’s house; and when the father of the young lady saw him, he rejoiced to meet him.
4 Inallukoy isuna ti katuganganna, nga ama ti babai, nga agtalinaed iti tallo nga aldaw. Nangan ken naginomda, ket pinalabasda ti rabii sadiay.
His father-in-law, the young lady’s father, kept him there; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank, and stayed there.
5 Iti maikapat nga aldaw, nasapada a bimmangon ket nagsagana isuna a pumanaw, ngem kinuna ti ama ti babai iti manugangna, “Papigsaem ti bagim babaen iti bassit a tinapay, kalpasanna mabalinmon ti mapan.”
On the fourth day, they got up early in the morning, and he rose up to depart. The young lady’s father said to his son-in-law, “Strengthen your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward you shall go your way.”
6 Nagtugawda a dua tapno mangan ken uminomda. Ket kinuna ti ama ti babai, “Pangngaasim ta ummianka pay ket agragsakka.”
So they sat down, ate, and drank, both of them together. Then the young lady’s father said to the man, “Please be pleased to stay all night, and let your heart be merry.”
7 Idi bimmangon a nasapa ti Levita tapno pumanaw, inallukoy isuna ti ama ti babai nga agtalinaed, isu a binaliwanna ti panggepna ket naturog manen sadiay.
The man rose up to depart; but his father-in-law urged him, and he stayed there again.
8 Iti maikalima nga aldaw, nasapa a bimmangon isuna tapno pumanaw, ngem kinuna ti ama ti babai, “Papigsaem ti bagim, ket urayem a mumalem.” Isu a nanganda a dua.
He arose early in the morning on the fifth day to depart; and the young lady’s father said, “Please strengthen your heart and stay until the day declines;” and they both ate.
9 Idi nagsaganan a pumanaw ti Levita, ti kakabkabbalayna ken ti adipenna, kinuna kenkuana ti ama ti babai a katuganganna, “Kitaenyo, mumalemen. Pangngaasiyo ta agtalinaedkayo pay iti maysa a rabii, ket agragsakkayo. Mabalinyo ti agrubuat a nasapa inton bigat nga agawid.”
When the man rose up to depart, he, and his concubine, and his servant, his father-in-law, the young lady’s father, said to him, “Behold, now the day draws toward evening, please stay all night. Behold, the day is ending. Stay here, that your heart may be merry; and tomorrow go on your way early, that you may go home.”
10 Ngem saanen a kayat ti Levita iti umian. Nagrubuat isuna sa pimmanaw. Nagturong isuna iti Jebus (dayta ket ti Jerusalem). Addaan isuna iti maysa a pares iti asno a nasilyetaan—ket kaduana ti kabbalayna.
But the man wouldn’t stay that night, but he rose up and went near Jebus (also called Jerusalem). With him were a couple of saddled donkeys. His concubine also was with him.
11 Idi asidegdan iti Jebus, umadanin iti rabii, ket kinuna ti adipen iti amona, “Umaykayo, dumagastayo iti siudad dagiti Jebuseo ket palabasentayo ti rabii sadiay.”
When they were by Jebus, the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, “Please come and let’s enter into this city of the Jebusites, and stay in it.”
12 Kinuna ti amona kenkuana, “Saantayo a dumagas iti siudad dagiti ganggannaet, a saan a maibilang kadagiti tattao ti Israel. Mapantayo iti Gabaa.”
His master said to him, “We won’t enter into the city of a foreigner that is not of the children of Israel; but we will pass over to Gibeah.”
13 Kinuna ti Levita iti agtutubo a taona, “Umaykayo, mapantayo iti maysa kadagidiay a lugar, ket umiantayo idiay Gabaa wenno idiay Rama.”
He said to his servant, “Come and let’s draw near to one of these places; and we will lodge in Gibeah, or in Ramah.”
14 Isu a nagtuloyda a napan, ket lumneken ti init idi asidegdan iti Gabaa, iti masakupan ti Benjamin.
So they passed on and went their way; and the sun went down on them near Gibeah, which belongs to Benjamin.
15 Nagdagusda sadiay tapno palabasenda ti rabii idiay Gabaa. Ket simrek isuna ken nagtugaw iti plasa, ta awan uray maysa ti nangpasangbay kadakuada iti balayna para iti rabii.
They went over there, to go in to stay in Gibeah. He went in, and sat down in the street of the city; for there was no one who took them into his house to stay.
16 Ngem maysa a lakay iti sumungsungad iti dayta a rabii manipud iti nagubraanna a talon. Nagtaud isuna iti katurturodan a pagilian ti Efraim, ken agnanaed isuna iti agdama iti Gabaa. Ngem dagiti tattao nga agnanaed iti dayta a lugar ket Benjamenita.
Behold, an old man came from his work out of the field at evening. Now the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he lived in Gibeah; but the men of the place were Benjamites.
17 Intannawagna dagiti matana, ket nakitana iti plasa ti siudad ti agdaldaliasat. Kinuna ti lakay, “Papananyo? Naggapuanyo?”
He lifted up his eyes, and saw the wayfaring man in the street of the city; and the old man said, “Where are you going? Where did you come from?”
18 Kinuna ti Levita kenkuana, “Naggapukami idiay Betlehem iti Juda ket agturongkami iti kasulsulinekan a paset iti katurturodan ti Efraim, nga isu ti naggapuak. Napanak idiay Betlehem iti Juda, ken mapanak iti balay ni Yahweh, ngem awan a pulos ti mangpasangbay kaniak iti balayna.
He said to him, “We are passing from Bethlehem Judah to the farther side of the hill country of Ephraim. I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem Judah. I am going to the LORD’s house; and there is no one who has taken me into his house.
19 Adda garami ken ipakanmi para kadagiti asnomi, ken adda tinapay ken arak para kaniak ken ti adipenmo a babai ditoy, ken para daytoy agtutubo a lalaki a kadua ti adipenmo. Awanen ti kasapulanmi.”
Yet there is both straw and feed for our donkeys; and there is bread and wine also for me, and for your servant, and for the young man who is with your servants. There is no lack of anything.”
20 Kinablaawan ida ti lakay, “Talna koma ti adda kadakayo! Siak ti makaammo kadagiti amin a kasapulanyo. Saankayo laeng nga umian iti plasa.
The old man said, “Peace be to you! Just let me supply all your needs, but don’t sleep in the street.”
21 Pinastrek ngarud ti lakay ti Levita iti balayna ket pinakanna dagiti asno. Binuguanda dagiti sakada ket nangan ken imminomda.
So he brought him into his house, and gave the donkeys fodder. Then they washed their feet, and ate and drank.
22 Agragragsakda, idi pinalawlawan dagiti lallaki iti siudad ti balay, lallaki a nadangkes, pangpang-urenda ti ridaw. Kinasaritada ti lakay, ti amo iti balay, a kunkunada, “Paruarem ti lalaki a simrek iti balaymo, tapno makikaiddakami kenkuana.”
As they were making their hearts merry, behold, the men of the city, certain wicked fellows, surrounded the house, beating at the door; and they spoke to the master of the house, the old man, saying, “Bring out the man who came into your house, that we can have sex with him!”
23 Rimmuar ti lalaki, ti amo ti balay, ket kunana kadakuada, “Saan, kakabsatko, pangngaasiyo, saanyo nga aramiden daytoy a dakes a banag! Agsipud ta sangaili daytoy a tao iti balayko, saanyo nga aramiden daytoy a nadangkes a banag!
The man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said to them, “No, my brothers, please don’t act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, don’t do this folly.
24 Kitaenyo, adda ditoy ti birhen nga anakko ken ti kakabkabbalayna. Palubosandak nga iruarko ida ita. Ranggasanyo ida ken aramidenyo ti aniaman a kayatyo kadakuada. Ngem saanyo nga aramiden ti kinadangkes iti daytoy a lalaki!”
Behold, here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. I will bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them what seems good to you; but to this man don’t do any such folly.”
25 Ngem saan a dumngeg dagiti lallaki kenkuana, isu a ginammatan ti lalaki ti kakabkabbalayna ket inruarna kadakuada. Ginammatanda isuna, kinaiddada, ken ginundawayanda isuna iti agpatnag, iti parbangon pinalubosanda isuna.
But the men wouldn’t listen to him; so the man grabbed his concubine, and brought her out to them; and they had sex with her, and abused her all night until the morning. When the day began to dawn, they let her go.
26 Iti parbangon, napan ti babai iti balay ti lalaki nga ayan ti amona ket napasag iti ruangan, ken nagidda sadiay agingga iti aglawag.
Then the woman came in the dawning of the day, and fell down at the door of the man’s house where her lord was, until it was light.
27 Bimmangon ti amona iti bigat ket linukatanna dagiti ruangan iti balay ket rimmuar a mapan iti dalanna. Nakitana ti kakabkabbalayna nga agid-idda idiay ruangan, a nakaunnat ti imana iti ayan ti ridaw.
Her lord rose up in the morning and opened the doors of the house, and went out to go his way; and behold, the woman his concubine had fallen down at the door of the house, with her hands on the threshold.
28 Kinuna ti Levita kenkuana, “Tumakderka. Intayon.” Ngem awan iti simmungbat. Impasakayna ti babai iti asno, ket nagrubuat ti lalaki nga agawid.
He said to her, “Get up, and let’s get going!” but no one answered. Then he took her up on the donkey; and the man rose up, and went to his place.
29 Idi nakasangpet ti Levita iti balayna, nangala isuna iti kutsilyo, ket tinengnelna ti kakabkabbalayna, ket pinutedputedna daytoy, rinangrangkayna, iti sangapulo ket dua a pidaso, ket inwarasna dagiti pidaso iti entero nga Israel.
When he had come into his house, he took a knife and cut up his concubine, and divided her, limb by limb, into twelve pieces, and sent her throughout all the borders of Israel.
30 Kinuna dagiti amin a nakakita, “Awan pay iti napasamak wenno naimatangan a kasta a banag manipud iti aldaw a rimmuar dagiti tattao ti Israel iti Egipto agingga iti agdama nga aldaw. Panunotenyo daytoy! Balakadandakami! Ibagayo ti aramidenmi!”
It was so, that all who saw it said, “Such a deed has not been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this day! Consider it, take counsel, and speak.”
